Linda Woolverton?s screenplay for Tim Burton?s new Alice in Wonderland has very successfully been kept under lock and key. This has led to a certain amount of confusion or even misinformation springing up and circling reports of the film. Thankfully, having been shown a full copy I can now report that all of the early information I was given by sources close to the film seems to be completely true.

The big surprise for most people, I think, will be that this is at once an adaptation of and sequel to the Lewis Carroll books. This is thanks to a plot wrangle at least as clever as that in Abrams? Star Trek. Essentially, Wonderland is both a real place and a recurring dream of Alice?s. In this film she?s dreaming of it at a somewhat later part of her life than in the books, so certain things are different. This is just one clever element of a truly charming and surprising screenplay that I?m now really very sure will become a true humdinger of a movie.

To fully understand the script immediately one would need a glossary of terms. Thankfully, Woolverton prepared one and it was circulated to cast and crew. I?ve had it explained to me, so I?m going to pass on what I know to you after the break.

Here in alphabetical order are the various terms you?d need to fully understand the screenplay. While a handful come from the books, most of them appear to be brand new.

* Bandersnatch, The: evil creature under the control of the Red Queen.

* Brillig: 4 o?clock in the afternoon. When one begins broiling things for dinner.

* Crims: The central area of Underland.

New Images From Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland!

From Yahoo! Movies come two more photos, one of Mia Wasikowska as Alice and the other of Matt Lucas as Tweedledee and Tweedledum. They've been added below!

USA Today has published new images from Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland featuring Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen, and Anne Hathaway as the White Queen. Also included are three more pieces of concept art.

The article explains that the March 5, 2010 release, co-starring Michael Sheen, Mia Wasikowska, Matt Lucas, Crispin Glover, Stephen Fry and Alan Rickman, is almost like a sequel to the original story:

The traditional tale has been freshened with a blast of girl power, courtesy of writer Linda Woolverton (Beauty and the Beast). Alice, 17, attends a party at a Victorian estate only to find she is about to be proposed to in front of hundreds of snooty society types. Off she runs, following a white rabbit into a hole and ending up in Wonderland, a place she visited 10 years before yet doesn't remember.

You can view the hi-res images here!

^ Have you ever read Alice's Adventures in Wonderland? It isn't a walk in the park :p Disney made it a very PG film, but the novel is anything but a Disney novel. It is scary, it is ****ed up. I think the only way to truly appreciate and understand the novel is to be trippin' on acid :laugh:
